We've got lots of exciting patterns this issue, including two gorgeous tops and a cardigan for you to add to your autumn wardrobe. Choose from a delicate 1950s-inspired Fair Isle top, a casually stylish cardi or a trendy, comfy tunic in Colinette One Zero – or, if you can't choose, why not knit all three?

Make a statement with our 'Hate Plastic - Love Knit' tote bag, and save the planet in style. Fashion addicts will love our crochet statement necklace – they're the accessory of the season, and so easy to make at home! Brighten up your knitting corner with a knitted workbox cover, and discover all about slipped stitches. We've also got a sweet checked jumper for little ones age 0-3, perfect for staying warm during walks in the park.

Your gift this issue is an exclusive booklet containing 25 Alan Dart toys! He's designed a Christmas Tree Advent Calendar for us, with 25 gorgeous little knits to hang on the branches, one for every day of Advent.

The toys also make great stocking stuffers and you can always hang them on your own tree. Why not get creative and fill them with pot pourri or use them to decorate a wreath? We'd love to see what you do with them!

Other great things to look out for in issue 46 include:   
  • Three great bobbled stitches to try.
  • The terrible knitters of Dent – and some rolicking knitting songs
  • Great ideas for October, from Pudsey Bear to Rowan's 30th Anniversary exhibition
Don't miss any of your usual favourites – they'll come in handy when you're writing your Christmas list! We've got great books to read, events to go to and, of course, lots of new yarns to try!
